Thornwork RitualsDana Batista · Cameron, N.C.
Design Desk

Design a working I don't cast for you.

You want the ritual, not the outsourcing. I design the working — protocol, materials, timing, safety — and you're the one on the floor when it fires. Two tiers below. Beginners welcome; I write to your level, not past it.

Tier A · Consult & Protocol

$225

  • 90-minute working call (video or voice, your call).
  • Three-to-five-page written ritual protocol, tailored to your situation, your materials, your privacy, and your practice level.
  • One revision pass after you read it.
  • Email questions answered within two business days between protocol delivery and your cast date.

Right if you know how to cast and want a bespoke working, or you're new and want a real one written to your floor.

Tier B · Consult, Companion & Debrief

$475

  • Everything in Tier A.
  • A ten-to-fifteen-page illustrated companion, print-ready PDF: full protocol, materials substitutions, omen legend, aftercare, safety.
  • Thirty-minute check-in after you cast, so you're not left holding the record alone.
  • Consult call booked within seven days of the fit-check clearing.

Right if you want a document you keep on the shelf, not just an email. Also the right tier for anything court-adjacent, DV-adjacent, or otherwise consequential, because the check-in after you cast is where those cases need a second set of eyes.

Before you fill this out: Every design case opens with a mandatory $75 fit-check divination, paid up front and non-refundable in all cases. It's how I decide whether the working is designable, safe, and mine to write. If I decline, the tier fee is never charged — the $75 stays with me because it paid for the read. This form asks for four things only: what to call you, an email address, a category, and a short description. Do not put anyone's legal name, address, phone number, medical or court detail in the description — that comes later, off this form, if I take the case. Intake goes over HTTPS to a managed database that encrypts data at rest and is filed under a short reference rather than your legal name. It is not end-to-end encrypted: I can read it, and the hosting and database providers' systems process it in plaintext. If I decline, withdraw, or never hear back from you, the record is deleted from the active database 30 days after that decision. Full terms are in the Privacy Notice.
First name or handle. Not your legal name.
The only way I reach you. Use one you control.
0 / 1,200 characters. If it does not fit, that is a sign the rest belongs in the paid stage, not this box. Describe people by role, not by name — "my ex," "my landlord." Names come later, off this form, if I take the case.
The $75 fit-check divination is invoiced by email within one business day of receiving this form — non-refundable in all cases, whether I take the design case or decline it. The tier fee ($225 or $475) is a separate charge, invoiced only after the fit-check confirms the working is designable. This form only submits the case to my desk for review. If someone else can see your bank or card statements, read What shows up on my bank statement? before you pay.
